Balogun: USA Outclassed by Belgium in 4-1 World Cup Exit

Balogun: USA Outclassed by Belgium in 4-1 World Cup Exit

Folarin Balogun admitted that the USA fell to a stronger Belgium side after their 4-1 Round of 16 exit at the World Cup 2026. The Seattle showdown was shadowed by off-field drama. Balogun’s red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina was controversially overturned by FIFA after lobbying from U.S. President Donald Trump. Balogun says Belgium deserved the win and proved their quality over the full 90 minutes.

Belgium's depth looked impressive, but the USA defense seemed slow to adjust after conceding early goals.

Next time, the team should focus on maintaining possession early and tightening midfield link-ups to prevent a repeat collapse.
